Take-home messages
You do math every day.

In investigating financing options on the internet, parents use variables and analyze tables for patterns—two important ideas in algebra.

Algebra is taught in middle school.
Parents in this workshop manipulate variables and use tables to find patterns among variables, both fundamental in middle school algebra.

Today's classrooms are different.
In today's classrooms, calculators and computers enable students to focus on higher level math concepts.

You can help your child with math.
Parents can use online resources to help their children with homework, to find math activities, and to find ways to get more involved with their children's math education.
